Chapter 321: Waves Again
"Boss, no, now our project has been stopped by the Maldivian authorities." On this day, Duke was directing the workers to assemble a new module, and unexpectedly received a call from Sauvez, who sounded like he was still in a hurry.
"Sovalz, what department called the stop?" Duke asked in a deep voice, he wouldn't need this factory for a while, so he wasn't in a hurry when he heard the stop.
What's more, this factory is considered a super-large enterprise in the Maldives, and it has been registered with the president of the Maldives, and the approval procedures of various relevant departments are also very complete, and they are all operated in accordance with the regular process.
"It's the environmental protection department." Sauvaz reports. "They said that our building construction was damaging the local environment, and that the factory was covering more than the approved area."
"Didn't we do what we agreed to do?" Duke was stunned, "According to the agreement, we have the right to use half of the island's area for industrial development, is there a problem with this?" ”
"Yes, we strictly followed the agreement, but in order to expand the berthing capacity of the pier, we extended nearly a kilometer along the island to build the pier, and now they have included the area enclosed by this pier, so that there are thousands of square meters more. Isn't this a deliberate attempt to find trouble? Sovaz said with some exasperation, apparently unpleasant in his dealings with the Maldivian authorities.
When Duke heard this, he frowned, this is really a troublesome thing, this wharf was built first, it was originally to be able to berth 10,000-ton sea vessels, facilitate the loading and unloading of building materials and goods, etc., this thing was not mentioned in the agreement reached with the Maldivian authorities at the beginning, originally Duke thought that there should be no problem.
Who knew that this would suddenly be used to talk about things at this time, and this one doesn't seem to be authentic.
"Alright, Sovalz, you can rest first, I'll send someone to solve this matter." Duke didn't know exactly what caused this problem, but no one jumped out to talk during the construction, and it was obvious that there was something behind it when it came to talking about this thing at this time.
Even if Duke's emotional intelligence is not high, it can be seen at this time that someone must be obstructing this matter. With the current economic structure of the Maldives, it is not much different from pie-in-the-sky investment to be able to usher in such a large investment.
After the completion of this factory, it will increase the GDP of the Maldivian authorities by at least 10 percent, and no decision-maker in his right mind will risk offending the big financiers and get entangled in such a trivial matter.
Xie Yunfeng, a senior manager sent by Duke, recruited senior talents from a foreign trade company that was familiar with the style and process of South Asian countries, quickly found a local consulting firm in Male that could contact big names in the political and business circles, and after throwing in tens of thousands of dollars in consulting fees, he quickly inquired about the fact that Vice President Nacian was obstructing the incident.
There is only a little territory in this country, and it is very easy for the locals to inquire about each other, so when Xie Yunfeng continued to inquire about why Nasia was targeting Duke's project, he heard a bad news that Ah San was actually working hard behind it. It is said that Ambassador Rama is very uneasy about this project by the Chinese, believing that it is very likely to be a project aimed at his own country.
Of course, the loss of two naval experts is nothing, plus this small island actually built a 10,000-ton dock, Ah San thinks that a hidden military base is being built here, on the surface it is also very reasonable, with this dock, almost all military ships in China can now dock here.
If this is the case, it is equivalent to inserting a needle into Ah Sanxin's nest and it is uncomfortable. You must know that from here, it will be a few hundred kilometers north to the mainland of Ah San. Ah San, who originally regarded the Indian Ocean as his back garden, was of course very unwilling to be nailed in a critical place like this.
However, the construction of the small island of Duke is all done in a fair and honest manner, and it is indeed not easy for Ah San to carry it on, so even if Ambassador Rama instructed Vice President Nacian to stir up the project, which was supported by them, Nacia is also quite nerve-wracking, you must know that although he is the second-in-command of the Maldives, he can be regarded as a high-ranking and powerful person on weekdays, but the second-in-command is the second-in-command after all.
Compared with the current ruling President Saiya, as long as Saiya's presidential throne is stable, then the voice of the leader of the country can be ignored, not to mention that this matter is originally a major event in the economic life of the Maldives, and there are many people staring up and down There are many people who are staring at it one by one, and there are more people who can get a piece of the pie in the future.
Vice President Inasiah took a lot of effort, including mobilizing the resources under his control and sending people to the island to do all kinds of so-called inspections, but he did not find any loopholes that could be exploited in this project, until one day someone found that the construction area of Lakhsfu Island seemed to exceed the standard, and there was no problem with the land area on the island, and it was all built according to the plan, but the extra wharf, if the area is counted, then the total area obviously exceeds the agreement.
If Nacian got the treasure, he immediately instructed his own group to complain to the tourism and environmental protection department that this pier was an extra part, and the tourism and environmental protection department had the right and responsibility to supervise it. Although this place is far from the traditional tourist islands and reefs of the Maldives.
However, this is indeed a very good excuse to interfere, so Vice President Nasiah took the initiative to jump out to supervise, claiming that the tourism and environmental protection department should pay attention to this matter from the perspective of future generations, tourism is the foundation of the Maldives' economy, and no one can allow the destruction of the Maldives' foundation.
In this way, even those who tend to support the Maldivian authorities in the Maldives are not easy to stand up, although President Saiya is a little dissatisfied with his political opponent jumping out to make trouble, but Nasiah does have a good excuse in this matter, if President Saiya insists on not doing it, maybe he will be put on a big hat of betraying the country.
You must know that it is not long before the next general election in the Maldives, if President Saiya wants to be re-elected, then he must maintain a good image in all aspects, this project was originally a major event conducive to the economic development of the Maldives, and it was originally a plus point for President Saiya among the voters, but if it is not done properly, it will be seized by the opponent, and it is very likely to be reversed into a minus point.
The two evils are balanced, and President Saiya has no choice but to choose silence to deal with it.
That's why the tourism and environmental protection department was asked to check and confirm whether the Duke project violated the agreement in terms of land area. The result of such an inspection is, of course, an accusation in favor of the Nasian faction, and according to the calculation of the dock from the base of the seabed, this pier is at least tens of thousands of square meters, and the two sides together naturally exceed several thousand square meters.
These things are very long, but Xie Yunfeng didn't have much trouble to understand, and after making some contacts with various parties on behalf of the company, Xie Yunfeng knew that he couldn't handle this matter by himself. The people on Vice President Nacia's side insisted that the problem could not be accommodated, and this kind of thing involved internal factional struggles, and the parties involved did not even dare to collect a single amount of money for the benefit fee, so they had to be able to keep themselves before they could use it.
After listening to Xie Yunfeng's report, Duke couldn't help but feel that his head was big for a while, how big a matter it was to make it so troublesome, and the infighting was really deadly.
There is also that hateful Ah San, who has nothing to do, it seems that after suffering a big loss on the island, this time he is completely eyeing his own base, Xie Yunfeng can't handle this matter, Duke asked himself that it would not be better, fortunately, Duke has Qin Tairan, a professional who can discuss, to see what methods can be used to resolve this problem.
After all, Qin Tairan has worked on the diplomatic front for a long time, and he is very experienced in handling disputes in this regard, not to mention that now that everyone has such a good relationship, it would be really stupid for Duke not to use this ready-made resource.
